Video footage has revealed the chilling moment a nanny in California was caught allegedly abusing a helpless two-day-old baby.
The parents of the newborn have revealed their two-day-old daughter appeared to be brutally abused by a trusted nanny just hours after coming home from hospital.
The Bay Area parents, identified only as ‘D’ and ‘T’, were left devastated after reviewing baby monitor footage showing their newborn daughter, ‘Baby H’, being violently shaken, struck and thrown across the room, they revealed in an ABC7 exclusive.
The full extent of the abuse is too graphic to be shown to the public.
‘It’s definitely horrifying for any parent and family to go through,’ the father told the outlet.
‘We all thought we could trust her. Never imagined something like this could happen,’ he added.
San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe described the case as extraordinarily serious.
‘What struck me overwhelmingly as soon as I read the case was the age of the victim. That’s what’s so unusual for us,’ he told ABC7.
Wagstaffe warned the alleged abuser could face serious prison time.
‘If we can convict them, for me, prison is the only answer for someone who would do something such as this repeatedly – not one time in anger or loss of self-control, but repeated,’ Wagstaffe said.
